...entered his mid-40s more visible than ever in the art world, but with work that to the French was still an eyesore. Though for the first time he was making enough money from his art to buy his family a comfortable house in a Paris suburb, much of his income derived from a single Russian patron, Sergei Shchukin, a wealthy merchant willing to fill his drawing room with Matisse's most difficult pictures while Moscow society snickered.

Despite the film’s derivative script, the special effects are simply suburb.  The title sequence of the film is a dazzling sequence of mythological imagery that makes the cost of watching the film in 3D justified (though the rest of film is probably just as good in 2D).  The kraken and the giant scorpions were also fun to watch and the computer graphics were seamless interwoven with the actors’ interactions.  Medusa stands out as a particularly stunning and realistic computer-generated character.  Her movements and incredibly seamless facial...

...vigorous declaration of modernity, generating the sustainable energy that drives what it calls a "global center of excellence for diesel engineering." These days, however, the 394-ft. (120 m) structure seems to punctuate the cry of pain that was once a busy shopping street in this hardscrabble East London suburb. Ford Dagenham produced as many as 340,617 cars annually and employed 40,000 people at its peak in the 1960s. Ford's diesel-engine plant, the only business left on the 475-acre (192 hectare) site, has a workforce of just 4,000; also gone are 60,000 other...
